Olympic Non- Sequitor

#1 Post by christie1111 » Fri Aug 15, 2008 9:13 pm

Did you here the story, and how could you not have, about how Phelps let Crocker take his place on the last Olympic relay where Phelps could have actually chosen to swim?

I love these stories.

As do others, which is why they tell them all the time.

Are you allowed to where opera lengthed sleeves before the opera?

And let me take back the special suit comment from Hermillions thread.

Yeah, I thought those things were a little wierd, myself.

Spitz talking to Phelps.

Pretty neat stuff.

At least I think so.

The Spitz/Phelps conversation was interesting. Today's technology
puts these athletes in the spotlight immediately upon winning.
The pressure must be tremendous afterwards.

They seem to handle it well. This conversation wouldn't haven taken place even 10 years ago.
